Not exactly, but people do similar things using our “pmpro-sponsored-members” plugin which can be found on Github:
https://github.com/strangerstudios/pmpro-sponsored-members
You must configure some settings at the top of the plugin, but then when someone checks out, they will receive a discount code they can give to other members to use to checkout for free. The accounts are linked behind the scenes.
Good luck.
Is it possible to configure the number of checkout codes the sponsor can acquire through membership packages? e.g., Sponsor Silver gets two codes to distribute, Sponsor Gold gets four? I need a method for parents to allow/monitor child registration.
I also really need to know this. mynameismonkey or strangerstudios, could one of you post the actual modifications needed to the top part of the sponsored members plugin? For example, do we just uncomment the array, or does it need to be placed elsewhere in the code?
Hello.
@mynameismonkey-
You can set the number of seats each parent level offers, by editing the array.
@lydia_b-
You can uncomment the array. I have pasted the array code here for ease of reference.
array(
//set 5 seats at checkout
1 => array(
'main_level_id' => 1, //redundant but useful
'sponsored_level_id' => array(1,2), //array or single id
'seats' => 5
),
//seats based on field at checkout
3 => array(
'main_level_id' => 3, //redundant but useful
'sponsored_level_id' => 4,
'seat_cost' => 250,
'max_seats' => 10
)
)
Here is how it works. You specify the parent id levels by setting the outter array keys. So in this case the parent levels are 1 and 3 in PMPro. You can also set pricing and number of seats for each sponsored (child) level. You can have several child levels for each parent level, each with it’s own pricing and number of seats. Let us know if this helps. Thanks.
Thank you, I will test that.
Will “Sponsored Members” work with the Multisite addon?
For example, each of our sponsored members (the children) should be given a blog which will be automatically deactivated once their membership expires. The parent user does not need and should not be given a blog on the multisite.
Yes, the Sponsored Members addon works with the Network addon. However, if you want to only give the sponsored members their own sites, and not the user who buys the original membership (parent), that will require some custom code. You could disable creating a blog at checkout, and enable it when using a discount code, or specific membership level ID.
If you need further help, please consider becoming a member at http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/pricing/ for our member support forums.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,

Great! I’ll close this thread here.
